TIL: Today I Learned...

My grandfather, not great grandfather, was born in 1889.
I'm not 60 yet. He died when I was 6 years old. I wish I had known him longer because all I remember was being scared of him. He wasn't mean, he just loved to pick on us.
My great-great-grandfather was born in 1835 and was a colonel in Phil Sheridan’s cavalry. We have his sabre, cast in 1862 in Chicopee, Massachusetts

History is cool 😎
